JR TURNER SALEYARDS - CLERMONT

The Isaac region’s premier beef precinct has continued to grow in prominence in
Clermont with JR Turner Saleyards processing more than 80,000 cattle processed
in the past 12 months.

Clermont is home to one of Queensland’s significant trucking cattle centres and the saleyards has undergone a
multi-million-dollar facelift.
The Isaac region’s vision for a world class saleyards and showgrounds in Clermont has been delivered through key AW7333245
operational improvements.
This includes the delivery of a second drafting facility, second loading dock and additional sale pens. These upgrades have
helped improve efficiencies and reduce processing time to meet the growing demand of sale and transit cattle.
It also took advantage of the site’s unfettered triple road train access and train load out facilities.
The pavilion refurbishment at the adjoining showgrounds complex has already hosted one of Queensland’s oldest
agricultural shows recently.
The refurbishment aims to deliver more outstanding events, conference, education and training and conference facilities.
The unique community venue offers sustainable, modern, adaptable and accessible facilities that support dynamic event
opportunities.
The upgrades complement the gross value of Isaac agriculture commodities produced which is $656.3 million and this is
supported by our $572.7 million beef industry.
This has been a collaborative project between Isaac Regional Council, key stakeholder groups and a multi-disciplinary team.
The $3.2 million Stage 2 Clermont Saleyards and Showgrounds Revitalisation Project was made possible through the
Australian Government’s Regional Recovery Partnerships.
